Perfect and twikable
Its just sounds perfect. there is no other word to describe it in more detail. It's Perfect.
The new Black Cat Mona Wah was designed with the help of DIY guru and wah master, Joe Gagan, and features a revolutionary breakthrough in traditional wah-wah design. The Black Cat Mona features a special custom tuned Black Cat inductor, as well as the newly engineered Black Cat wah pot, which is like nothing else on the market. These features allow the Black Cat Mona to be used as a sophisticated tone-sculpting tool instead of a mere novelty quack machine.
Designed by Joe Gagan, the Black Cat wah pot features a new taper and redesigned gear which yield a subtly of expression never before possible with any other wah. This unique new design allows for a totally smooth, even sweep that covers the entire range of the pot, which places it in a league above the compromised design of the ICAR and other condensed or “S taper” pots.
The Black Cat Mona wah is available in two different models – Vintage and Modern:
The Mona Vintage uses carbon comp resistors and NOS vintage capacitors (tropical fish, orange drops, etc) and is voiced more like a vintage Vox wah.
The Mona Modern uses Dale precision resistors and Wima film capacitors, and is optimized for a clean, full frequency response.
Each model is available in Standard and Deluxe editions. That means there are a total of four variations of the Mona Wah: Standard Mona Modern, Standard Mona Vintage, Deluxe Mona Modern, and Deluxe Mona Vintage.
All the standard Black Cat Mona Wahs have three internal trimpots (Frequency, Q, and Volume), plus a built in buffer with an external mini-switch that allows you to bypass the buffer completely. The Volume control is for the output level when the buffer is engaged.
The Q and Freq controls are for adjusting the Q (resonant peak or sharpness) and the Frequency range. By experimenting with these controls you’ll be able to achieve a number of subtle and intriguing tone-shaping effects, including passive tone control and pedal-steel type swells. Of course, when a good old-fashioned wah-wah is what you need, the Black Cat Mona can wakka wakka with the best of them.
FEATURES: •Durable powder-coat “Holographic Sparkle” finish •On-board tone-shaping controls •Bypass-able buffer for compatibility with low-impedance effects •Lighter weight, more “pedalboard friendly” design •Dual LED indicators: (red for Vintage, blue for Modern) •3PDT true-bypass switch and Switchcraft jacks •Uses 2.1mm Boss style power jack or internal 9V battery •Hand-wired, Boutique quality, Made in USA

now what are your preferred settings? are there any settings that make this wah sound plain bad? how is the treadle action? If you don't use it on a pedalboard, does it stay put on stage or do you find yourself 'chasing it' when you are playing stages without carpet?

okay, I will stop busting your balls! by the way, check out black cat's superfuzz clone, I have been missing my vintage superfuzz lately and tried one at a store... dead on! the fuzz/octave effect will amte well with a wah with adjustable Q

My prefered setting is full on, as I use the vintage version it does not go ULTRA wild (Kirk Hammet would not like it), but its extremely musical, the way I find Perfect.
Tradle action is pretty different from the standard market ones, its much more controlable, the tension is more firm, gives the player more control over the sweep.
Plain bad only if you turn volume down and it goes mute, besides that, no, impossible to get a bad sound.
The saddles are extremelly "sticky", it does not walk on the floor, even if you try to.
